코스메틱 산업의 지속 가능성을 위한 바이오 기반 순환 경제 모델 연구

초록

This study aims to define the concept and characteristics of bio-based circular economy as a key strategy for achieving sustainability in the cosmetic industry and to analyze the cases of domestic and international cosmetic brands that have adopted this approach. It examines the impact of these strategies on sustainability by evaluating the applicability and validity of bio-based circular economy strategies for sustainable development in the cosmetic industry. Furthermore, it investigates whether environmental, social, and governance (ESG) sustainability is realized through a comparative analysis of domestic and international brand cases. The conclusions of this study are as follows. First, from an environmental perspective, the bio-based circular economy model emphasizes the importance of sustainable raw material development, eco-friendly packaging, and carbon emission reduction strategies. Second, from a social perspective, strategies such as consumer education, ethical sourcing of raw materials, and the implementation of empty bottle collection and refill systems were identified as key to promoting sustainable consumption culture. Third, from a governance perspective, ensuring transparency in ESG management emerged as a critical factor. Based on these findings, this study confirms that the bio-based circular economy strategy is a crucial element in achieving sustainability in the cosmetic industry. It suggests the need to strengthen ESG management, expand the use of sustainable raw materials and packaging, promote consumer-participatory eco-friendly activities, and encourage technological innovation for bio-material development and recycled product production. These strategies align with global ESG trends, enhancing sustainable management practices and international competitiveness.
